clauskiBrain Traysers FWIW fans always massively overreact to losses against bottom of the table. Its like the implicit assumption is bottom of the table means they will lose comfortably every game, whereas in reality they only lose around half the time, so for the other half they picked up results, deservedly or not.
Not so much the fact Wycombe are bottom that's causing the reaction, more the poor performance from us. I think Wycombe haven't looked that bad in some games this season and been unlucky not to pick up more points, but tonight they were very ordinary. Sadly we were worse.

PistolPete Couple of things:
Joao can be the penalty taker - but not like that. Watch Ribery or someone. That technique is ridiculous.

traff Always worry when managers make such baffling substitutions, usually when they are under pressure and getting more frantic and clueless.
Football is not really that complex and it is often very easy to see what needs to be done in a game and even more sensible to play the percentages. It almost appears as though they make these bizarre changes to retain some sort of air of mystique.
We are losing and need to break down 10 men., I know this will fool them all. Take off our most creative players, play centre backs as attacking full backs and bring on players who have a shocking current record in front of goal. Then blame the players tomorrow and accuse the media and fans of not understanding the game and everyone is tired.
I am afraid he is not the messiah but exactly what Chicago fans told us he was.
A very average boy.

The technique isn't the issue. I don't think any of us here can teach a top championship professional striker about penalty technique.
The issue is simply his mind.
Far too emotional to be taking penalties. We could see that in his first miss, and his second miss, and his third scuffed shot/lucky goal, and his many other sulks when things don't go his way... he doesn't have the mental strength for pens. You can't teach someone that.
I was gobsmacked when I saw him step up for the last one, and even more so now. No idea what Pauno is thinking keeping him on as the number one man for pens.

We are in a playoff battle after years of being shite. Upsets happen - we were more dangerous in the first half than we have been in recent games. Whatever happens this will be our best finish since 16/17, and likely 2nd best since we got relegated so I'm struggling to be too angry,
We are crap at breaking down defensive teams, especially with this exhausted lot and nobody on the bench to change it - no 2nd half goals in 7 now? Once 1-0 down I didn't expect anything other than a loss.
We look good against teams that have a go - Brentford and Bournemouth being our two best recent performances.
I don’t think you can always fall back upon perspective as justification for a lack of emotion at a particular event in present.
Fair play if watching that tonight doesn’t anger you, I wish I had your calm outlook BT!
TBF I was in a meeting for the entire second half watching on a screen, so was somewhat detached.
Was pretty annoyed after Millwall, but in general the weather is picking up, the days are getting longer and lockdown is getting closer to ending so non-football life is pretty chill. Namaste

Crowbar6753 His tactics have now been found out and the team are struggling. This is where a good manager earns his money, however, looking at Pauno's game management he clearly is lacking in the tactical department and is now clearly struggling with no plan B and the inability to change things up (Both formation and players).
